SPECIAL PROCEDURE

Pupih Requiring Special Hours
Must Arrange Before Jan 10—
Instructions Given
BOOK OF NUMBERS
NOT IN LIBRARY
Pupils who expect to get special
programs for thc next term will
do we'I to get distinctly in mind
the things which they must do.
In the first place, practically no
programs will be changed after
the opening of the term. The
school authorities positively cannot change the time of the classes
to suit pupils. Some changes will
no doubt, have to bc made in
order to legulate the size of the
classes, but this will be entirely-
optional with the office. Since
there will be practically no
changes afterward it is up to the
pupils who wish special programs
to make arrangements for them
before the assignments are made
The arrang'ng of the size of
the classes, so that they will be
nearly equal, is hard enough in
itself, but when special programs
must be made out, it is harder
than evenJ"therefore only those
who have the very best of reasons
will be accommodated. Not only-
must the reasons be of the best
but one's parents must make the
request in person if it is to receive any consideration. This
rule has been made because it
is only right that if a reason is
important enough to merit attention from the office, it should also
get more than passing interest
from the parent. This rule will
be absolutely enforced, and no
notes or excuses ol any kind will
be accepted. When the parents
come to (he office it will be possible to talk the situation over with
them and make the very best
arrangements that the schedule
will allow. Printed forms will he
supplied by the school, on which
parents who come to the office
may record their requests. These
cards and these only will be on
file for the aftention of the office
force, and parents positively must
come to the office if they wish to
fill one out. All requests must be
in by January 10, and none will
be filed after this date. The best
plan, if you really need a special
program, is to bring your parents
down at once, and thus avoid the
rush which is sure to come on the
last few days.
Librarian Declares Famous Old
Testament Book Not in Shortridge Collection
Miss Allen rumagid through
the whole Shortridge library in a
vain endeavor to find the Book
of Numbers for one of our enterprising English students. Our
librarian looked through all of
her catalogues in order to find a
book which she declared she had
never heard of before and the
poor student was forced to go
without his English lesson prepared.
Thus it was that Frank Levin-
son caused so much disturbance
in Mr. Livengood's English class
by asserting that he did not have
the Book of Numbers at home
and that the Shortridge library
was without a copy.
We think it would bc interesting to find how many of our
honored faculty would have encountered the same difficulty that
Miss Allen did, for even Mr. Hart
when *old of this incident asked:
"Where is the Book of Numbers?"
CONCERT TO BE GIVEN
Mrs. Hanna Wolff Freeman,
the Dutch pianist, will give a* program in Caleb Mills Hall this
evening for the benefit of the
hospital fund of the Indianapolis
Federation of Teachers. Most of
the Indianapolis teachers are
members of this association, j
When members of this association
become sick and it is necessary
for them to go to the hospital
they are allowed forty dollars for
expenses which is out of the hospital fund. The fund is now lower
than it has been for some time,
and the teachers have adopted
this method of bringing it up.
Mrs. Freeman ranks very high in
the musical world, and a treat is
in store for those who come to
hear her. This chance to hear
some very good music and at the
same time benefit a good cause, is
one which we should not miss.
Tickets may be purchased of Miss
Hamlin. There are no reserved
seats.
An important meeting of the
Elective Chorus tonight at 2:30,
room 30. All members should be
present.

PHYSIOGRAPHY TRAMP
The Physiography Club will
take one of lhe most enjoyable
walks o' the season this afternoon. They intend to walk from
Fairview to Broad Ripple. The
club seems to have formed no
definite idea as to the distance or
the time it will take them, but
they intend to carry out the program, if they don't get back till
Monday morning. Everyone who
has traversed the route which
they will travel, however, knows
that it is one of the most delightful walks in the vicinity of this
city and ^his lact combined with
the fact that the air is just crisp
enough to make walking fine gives
promise that the tramp will be a
perfect one. The club will leave
for Fairview on the first car after
2:30 and as the cars run only
every twenty minutes everyone
should try and catch the first car.
oratorical"club
The program as arranged by
the Oratorical Club for Monday

Girls' Glee Club
Oration Edith Skinner
P.ano Solo Ethel Walker

REDS DEFEAT BLUES
WHITES BEAT GRAYS
The tabulation of the report
cards in room 33 showed a very
good average. Out of 55 cards
19 A+'s were found. Only nineteen people received D's and only
4 cards had more than one D.
The record stands as follows: 19
A+'s, 37 A's. 67 B's, 74C's, 23 D's.
Hope is expressed that the students will "skidoo" all the D^ on
the next marks. The two best
cards showed 1st, 3 A+'s, A; 2nd,
2 A+'s, 3 A's.
NOTICE
The Glee Club will hold a very
important meeting this afternoon

Sensational Work of Judd Wins
for Reds—Cleanness Marks
Both Games
In two lightning fast games
which abounded with sensational
basket shooting -and fine team
work the Reds trounced the Blues
39-17 and^the Whites walked
away from the Grays 32-7. The
high scores were not caused by
any weakness in defense by the
sensational speed of the winning
forwards. The only way in
which it would have been possible
to stop Captain Judd in particular
would be clamp a board over the
basket and then it would hardly
be safe.
In the first game between the
Reds and. the Blues the latter
team showed up better than at
any time JLhis year. The Blues
scored in the first ffiinutc of play
and seemed liable to break the
hoodoo which has been hanging
over them. The scare seesawed
for a while but towards the last
the Reds' scoring machine got in
order and they closed the half
with the ^fcore 21-11 in their
favor. The Blues~ came back
determined but they were no
match for the pla'ying of Ray and
Judd and the score rose, to 39-17
in spite of their best eiforts.
The game between the Whites
and Grays was given iuided interest by the fact that these
teams were fighting for second
place. By winning the game, the
Whites moved into tbe coveted
position and placed themselves
within striking distance of the
leaders. The score of 32—7 does
not give a good idea of how
fiercely the game was contested.
Again sensational work on the
part of the forwards piled up a
big score in spite of the best of
guarding. Findley of lhe Grays
was a little out of form and this
also helped in their defeat. Morrison andMetialf played a speedy
game for the Whites.
Those who played on the Reds'
team were:
Reds (39)— Carll forward, Judd
forward, Ray center, McVey
,-uard, Wilson guard.
On the Blues' team:
Blues (17)—McNeely forward,
Burns forward, Potter center,
Hancock guard, Toole guard.
